Description
It was when he lost yet another colleague to suicide in his young career that Dr. Adam Hill decided he had to speak up. Hill - who was then
successfully in recovery from an alcohol addiction - had come close to suicide himself, but due to the shame imposed by the medical profession on providers who struggle with mental health and substance abuse
issues, he had not yet shared his story. His subsequent book "Long Walk Out of the Woods" details his journey, and he now takes every opportunity to share his lessons of recovery and hope. A free webinar on September 17 sponsored by Coverys and Med-IQ will feature Dr. Hill offering examples of how people can be proactive about their own mental health and also challenge the status quo to open doors for other people. As he tells host Rishi Desai int this heartfelt conversation, the medical community needs to stop the shaming and "carve out spaces for compassion, empathy and understanding." (See webinar registration information in the transcript below.)

Prisma Health Physicians Create Ventilator Device That Could Save Lives: After seeing Italy confront the grim reality of ventilator rationing, emergency medicine specialist Dr. Sarah Farris wanted to spare physicians and patients in the U.S. the same agonizing choices. Creating a splitting device that would allow one ventilator to serve two patients seemed like a good solution, and in a remarkable sequence of events, thousands of those devices were manufactured and ready for use just a few weeks after she first mentioned the idea. Sarah and her colleagues at Prisma Health, Dr. Marjorie Jenkins and Dr. Peter Tilkemeier, join host Rishi Desai to describe the powerful partnership of medicine, government and industry that made it possible. by Raise the Line
